Delayed contrast-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a noninvasive technique to study cartilage glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in vivo. This study evaluates dGEMRIC in patients with preradiographic degenerative cartilage changes. Seventeen knees in 15 patients (age 35-70) with arthroscopically v
## Abstract ## Purpose To use a 3D gradientβecho (GRE) sequence with two flip angles for delayed gadoliniumβenhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) to evaluate relative glycosaminoglycan content of repair tissue after matrixβassociated autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT). ## Materials and M
